Manic Monday

Whew, I'm still pooped after yesterday!  I'm still surprised how I can manage to fill up a day with so much activity and NOT have a job. It's amazing that once the gift of time has been given to you, how you can still manage to fill it up with the random things of life.

Well, onto Monday.  Matt left work around 1pm to head off to his retreat.  He came home for lunch, we said our goodbyes and he headed off with a co-worker around 2pm.  That gave him plenty of time to hit some golf balls!  :)  They had a welcome dinner at 6:00 and then the bar opened afterwards and (surprise, surprise) it was a huge gathering place!  Matt was good - as with his colleagues - but they did spend their entire night in the bar.  Matt even found his new drink - Jack and Coke.  Matt's taking his taste buds up a notch!  :)

As for me, my morning consisted of my daily routine of morning activities, blogging, daily desk work, etc.  My main objective was to find us new doctors.  I had partial success, but it's been tricky to find doctors with good reputations and are currently accepting new patients.  As for the afternoon, I left at the same time as Matt and ran some errands.  Afterwards I took a bike ride in one of many parks that I've recently discovered.  I've decided this week that I'd like to try a different park each day so I can ride at a less windy place. Since I live near corn fields, the wind is not blocked and it makes it a little too difficult at times.  I'd like to find a park that has a bike trail and, in a perfect world, has a water view.  You know, for a Nor Cal girl, I sure am happy that I moved to Ohio to finally have some water views - talk about irony!

The park I tried yesterday was not conducive to bikers (the path was only big enough for runners) so I'll try the next one on my list.  I pumped some iron in the gym after my bike ride because it recently dawned on me that I'm getting a good leg workout, but nothing for my arms.  I hate going to the gym, but I don't mind working out on the weights.  I'm hoping that little routine will stick.  ;)

Finally, I had a meeting about my upcoming events this week. Thursday is game night and Friday is movie night.  Should be fun!  :)
